This was taken on April 10th from my apartment in Alpharetta, sirens for a thunderstorm warning were going off and I was standing in the patio trying to take that perfect lightning picture that we always see..
This is as close as I came to getting it.
Manual mode with 5s exposure and f/8.0 aperture. White Balance was set to Cloudy.
Timely capture! Capturing a lightning in a 5s exposure really needs some luck too :) I have heard people waiting for several minutes to get one perfect lightning. I can understand that you could not have avoided the clutter at the bottom as you shot this from your patio. A great attempt and a great result too.
Great shot! I don't think of the buildings/trees as clutter. This picture to me tells a story and everything that I see in this shot helps complete the story.

Finally your patience paid off! We should get to clear ground where we can caprute the lightening part better.
Good job.

BTW the clouds are too scary.
Sometime, I have to try this myself.
Thanks for sharing,
